      Looks like you got it under last year's quota then. This fiscal year's start date is Oct 1 2006. Even if the H1B is approved, the work Visa date starts Oct 1.

      Well, the US has always been the land of opportunity. Unless you have strong emotional ties to family and friends in India, you should move to the US (my opinion of course). Regards, Nish

          I moved from Canada to the US almost 7 years ago, initially with a Trade NAFTA visa, then an H1B visa. I have completed the residency requirements and am now a permanent US resident. I have no regrets for my decision. The job environment has given me room to grow professionally and personally. As others have said, international experience shows you are willing to test new waters.

              The IT market in the area I live (near Charlotte, NC) seems to be increasing. As for as hot skills, the people I have worked with that have gone elsewhere are working with C# and SQLServer 2005, so, Microsoft based technologies are certainly in demand.

                      Wow you are pretty good inform, I came here with a H1B for a dotcom. Was so difficult then getting a H1B, they run out fast those days. The good old days! Being in a H1B is actually a bad idea in my personal opinion. You need to settle in a country, buy a car, get a rent or buy a house, etc .... If they let you go, you got 10 days to leave the country. This is a little crazy as you children are in the US schools, mortgage, car payments, etc ... I have friends that got let go after the dotcom boom and had to leave the US back to Europe, pulling the kids out the schools, selling the car in a rush and break the lease of the apartment.
